Arlie Russell Hochschild finds that in two‐partner, heteronormative households where both partners work in the formal economy, the husband tends to have more leisure time, leaving most household labor and childcare to the woman of the couple. This constitutes the woman's Second Shift. Hochschild's argument has shaped recent scholarship in the social and political economy of the family, focusing attention on the gendered use of time and the gendered division of labor within many heteronormative households.
